h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

JavaScript is nowhere near as hard as it looks. I'm all self taught aswell, most of it is just finding a code that does close to what you want and then adapting it to your needs. There is a realy good site I use but I can't remember the name, something like infohiway.com or something. Anyway they've got LOTS of really good scripts that you can just cut and paste with the instructions as to how to adapt them.
If I can help, just ask, after all it was looking at your site where I remembered how to turn the border off on links.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, the animated goo going from researcher 45177 to Pastey was done with Paint Shop Pro 5, an absolutly superb piece of software. If you can't get hold of a copy or you're just feeling lazy let me know and I'll whip something up for you.
